We are a national grassroots move-
ment with organizations in each
state urging our state legislatures
to use their powers under Article V
of the U.S. Constitution to propose
amendments restoring limits on the
power of all 3 branches of govern-
ment (including the runaway inde-
pendent national bureaucracies).
OUR GOAL:
To inspire A Spiritual
and political Revival in
America.
THE MISSION:
Build the largest engaged Army of
Self-Governing grassroots Activists.

WHY CALL A CONVENTION OF STATES?
To bring power back to the states and the
people, where it belongs. Unelected
bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. shouldn’t
be allowed to make sweeping decisions
that impact millions of Americans. But right
now, they do.
Who do you think should
decide what’s best for you and your
family?
WHAT’S A CONVENTION OF STATES?
Article V of the U.S. Constitution
gives
states the power to call a Convention
of States to propose amendments limit-
ed to the subjects outlined in our resolu-
tion. To allow the states to make recom-
mendations that, “limit the power and
jurisdiction of the federal government,
impose fiscal restraints, and place term
limits on federal officials.”
HOW IT WORKS?
To call a Convention of States, 34 states
must pass identical resolutions in each
chamber of their legislature. Each state’s
delegation participates in drafting and
voting on proposed amendments that are
sent back to the states. It takes 38 states
to adopt and ratify any amendments that
are proposed.
THE RESOLUTION
Fiscal Restraints – If the government taxed at 100 percent and confiscat-
ed everything, it wouldn’t cover the mountain of debt that we have already
accumulated.
Restrict the Power, Scope, and Jurisdiction of the Federal Government
–
Congress has turned state legislatures into their regional agencies rather
than respecting them as truly independent republican governments.
Term Limits for Federal Official – Our Founders never wanted anyone to
make a career out of public service. The longer someone stays in D.C., the
less connection they have to their constituents. Our federal officials, bu-
reaucrats, the Supreme Court, or Congresspeople do not have any reason
to change because We the People are not engaged.
